Senior Reach Intervention Summary

Senior Reach is a service-based intervention targeting older adults experiencing problematic mental and emotional states, personality and physical changes, poor health, social isolation, substance abuse, physical abuse or neglect, and risk factors for suicide. Training is provided to members of the community to identify, offer outreach services to, and refer at-risk independent-living older adults. These community partners serve as nontraditional (e.g., restaurant and retail staff, bus drivers, senior center staff) and traditional (e.g., primary care physicians, adult protective services) referral sources . . .
